Chapter 3: Part 2
Lucy's P.O.V
I exited the room beaming with joy ( oh yes and the sound pod is with Laxus if anyone was wondering)when suddenly Laxus snatched my right hand and started dragging me away, from the looks of it it looks like he was trying his best to get away from the flirtatious nurses who seemed to increase in numbers. I suddenly felt a sickening feeling tugging repeatedly at my heart. Why do I feel like this?! It feels somewhat familiar... where have I felt it before?! Wait I know now! I get this feeling every time I see Lissana and Natsu together...no...it can't be... jealousy?! Why am I feeling like this?! Stop thinking about it Lucy you BAKA! I took a deep breath and ignored my little argument with myself. I tried my best to catch up with Laxus but instead ended up falling face flat on the ground , I was about to get up myself until I felt a hand encircle my waist and pulled me upright.
Laxus's P.O.V
UGH! seriously this brat's dragging me down! Can't she see I'm trying to get away from those annoying nurses?! when I finally had enough of her stumbling behind me; which led to her falling on the ground. I picked her up and carried her bridal style not even aware of the silent blush that was creeping onto her face.
Lucy's P.O.V
why is my heart beating so fast?! Stop blushing Lucy!That will only make things worse! Once we were safely outside Laxus ran into the nearest alleyway desperation visible on his facial features. Then things took a turn for the worse, Laxus looked down to face me and saw my beet red face. He smirked.
" What's the matter Blondie?! Finally realising that you like me?!" he teased. I was about to retort something back at him but at the last minute he slipped on a puddle and fell backwards dragging me with him. During the fall I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him closer to me. By the time we landed on the ground both of our faces were just centimetres apart and both our eyes transfixed on one another. His eyes were a mesmerising colour of blue with a greyish tint to it, without both of us realizing it we inched closer to each other and soon our lips were literally just inches apart. Slowly my hands met his face cautiously and traced his scar... yet again. For some odd reason it fascinates me. Meanwhile Laxus brought his right hand up to my face from my waist
( which somehow appeared there ;) ) while his other hand tightened his hold on me. My heart was beating like there was no tomorrow while an unwanted blush made it's way to my cheeks, Laxus brushed away my hair covering my face immediately exposing me flaming red cheeks. We were about to lean in even closer until we heard a bunch of girls scream for Laxus to show himself.
That broke our little moment and made us jump into the nearest room that was available, unfortunately it was a little bit tight. As we both listened to the horde of girls screaming I suddenly realised that both our bodies were pressed up against each other. Surprisingly I turned a new shade of red at the feeling, I forced my eyes shut and waited for what seemed like forever for the horde of girls to pass by. Laxus looked at me then smirked, " so do you want to learn how to do a thought projection or what?!" he held out his hand and I smiled my genuine smile and took his hand.
1 week after in Fairy Tail
Erza's P.O.V
Where is she?! She should be here by no! I looked over to Gray and saw that he had the same worried look on his face...Lucy... THAT'S IT!I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF WAITING! I stormed up to Master's office with Gray hot on my heels. I knocked on the door impatiently and was answered a second later, I came in and looked master in the eye. " Master Lucy's been gone for a week and 2 days now! can we please go and look for her?!" I asked with a stern voice perfectly disguising my true feelings.
But master knows me all too well, " I know you are worried my child... so am I but Lucy will be fine she can take care of herself now" master assured me. I was shocked, wouldn't master be worried about Lucy by now?! I felt anger building up inside me.
" I don't care any more master! For all I know Lucy might be out there hurt or even close to death! I'm going to look for her whether you like it or not !" with that I stormed out of the room and prepared my search for Lucy with a silent Gray close behind me.
" Fine but I guarantee you won't find her" were masters last words and it seemed like it was painful to say it. Is master keeping something from us about Lucy?!
Me and Gray went up to Natsu who was currently talking to Lissana, I tapped him lightly on the shoulder. " Natsu can we borrow happy for a while?!" I asked knowing that if Gray had it would just have started another fight wasting valuable searching time.
"A-aye Erza!" Natsu stuttered, is he afraid of me?!...good! I Grabbed Happy who was currently shouting 'Natsu you traitor' repeatedly like a broken record stuck on repeat. We made our way outside.
" Happy! Can you carry Gray all the way to Crocus?!" I asked.
" Aye sir!" he proceeded to wrap his tail around Gray then pulled him up into the air, " Gray you're heavy!" the small feline whined.
" What did you say you stupid neko!"
" Enough!" everything went silent, " Re-quip: Heavens Wheel Armour" I was engulfed in a bright light that soon died down revealing my new outfit/armour. I flew up to join Gray and Happy. We sped off to Crocus and arrived there in two days
3 Days later: Back in Magnolia
Gray's P.O.V
Where could she be?! Wait... she might have been sick and stayed at home... that would explain why she didn't come to the guild earlier! My whole face lit up and I hurriedly ran to Erza and Happy and explained my theory
Erza's P.O.V
Ingenious! How could I have not thought of it?! Me, Gray and Happy hurriedly ran to Lucy's house and unlocked the window. We were both expecting to see a sick and sleeping Lucy on the bed but were greeted instead with...nothing. " Where could she be?!" my worry increased dramatically.
" She might be in the toilet!" Gray ran to the bathroom before I could stop him. When I didn't hear any sound I entered the bathroom, what I saw surprised me. All of Lucy's toiletries were gone! It's as if she had vanished through thin air with not a single trace left that she even existed! Me and Gray looked at each other and sent each other a silent message. Where's Lucy?!. I bolted out of the room nearly crushing the life out of Happy. Happy?! I totally forgot about him! Focus Erza! You're looking for Lucy here! I searched frantically for Lucy until I gave up and sat dejectedly with Gray on her bed. It's as if she never existed...
Happy's P.O.V
Ohhh while I'm in Lucy's house I'll just eat some of her fish! Aye sir! I walked over to her fridge and opened it to reveal a shocking sight...Lucy has no food! NOOO! I walked over to the bathroom horrified and was about to complain to Erza and Gray until both of them ran out the door and nearly trampled me. I flew over to Lucy's table barely escaping death and saw two letters. Hmmm those are her letters to her mother right?! Well it shouldn't hurt if I take a peek. I cautiously walked over to the letters expecting Lucy to pop up and second and kill me. As I got closer I started to get a better view of the letters...no way... To: Fairy tail and To: Team Natsu, The improved Team Natsu and Levy. I danced with joy, now she can't kill me! I picked up the letters and flew over to Gray and Erza.
Gray's P.O.V
What's Happy holding?! When he got close enough I grabbed the papers and started reading them.
" Gray! You meanie!" Happy screamed at me. I handed Erza the one addressed to Fairy tail and started reading the one addressed to Team Natsu and Levy. When I was finished reading the letter I was in tears. Why?! Why did she have to go?! How dare Natsu do that to her! He even had the nerve to tell us that Lissana was only just tagging along with Team Natsu! How low could he stoop?!
Erza's P.O.V
She left... Lucy left...why... why couldn't I have protected her?! Why did she have to suffer?! My eye felt watery. Am I crying?!... I never thought I'd find myself crying again.. I laughed half-heartedly and wiped my right-eye from stray tears. (Spoiler note if you haven't figured it out yet: Erza's left eye is fake so she can't cry out of it! Sorry if I spoiled it for anyone! Gomen! please don't kill me!) I read the letter that Gray was reading, I felt a mix of anger and depression overcome after I had finished reading it. I was blinded with fury, I ran to Fairy Tail with a tired Gray and Happy behind me. I kicked the door wide open gaining everyone's attention, " You MONSTERS! you horrible monsters! Me and Gray were gone for 3 months! 3 damn months and this is how you welcome us back?!" everyone was dumbfounded but soon cowered with fear.
" Erza my child... be reasonable... she wouldn't want you doing this" master jumped down from his stool and approached me cautiously.
My anger intensified with each step I took...how dare master not tell us about Lucy's leaving! How dare he!" Master I have every right to punish them! Give me one good reason as to why I shouldn't?!" I demanded furiously momentarily forgetting all my respect I had for him. Everyone was stiff with shock, they had never seen me back talk master...ever.
" If she was here right now would you think she'd approve of you like this?!" master questioned truth in his words. I shut my eyes and looked away stubbornly and tried to deny the feeling that master was right.
" But that's just the problem master... she's not here is she?! She's not here any more" I hung my head in agony as I trembled, " and it's all because of you ignorant bastards and you dense dragon slayer" my finger pointed at every Fairy Tail member accusingly their eyes not escaping my predatory glare.
" Can't we at least punish Natsu?! She even said that it was fine!" I heard Gray reason, I looked at Master hope filling my very soul only to be brutally shattered by Master's disapproving nod.
"Hey don't blame me on all of this stripper! I don't even know what's going on! I haven't done anything wrong in my entire life!" Natsu shot back.
In an instant I felt my anger rekindle, my whole body being consumed with fury. How dare he say that after all he's done to Lucy! after all the pain he's caused her! I clenched my fist in the hope of containing my anger but to no avail, "you have no right to say that! you have caused Fairy tail so much pain... and you don't even realise it...not even the members of Fairy tail who I thought were supposed to be great nakamas... just like her I trusted the wrong people..." I clenched my mouth trying to stop myself from crying again. I hung my head low pain slowly filling the empty hole in my heart...Lucy this is for you... I looked up at Natsu my eyes filled with blood lust. I was engulfed in a bright light which disappeared again in a matter of seconds. I Re-quipped into my Purgatory Armour. My sword sliced the air stopping directly in Natsu's direction while the said mage just stood there dumbfounded.
"DIE!" I completely lost all sane thoughts and replaced them with bloody murder. I lunged at Natsu and was about to strike a deadly blow until everything blacked out.
Gray's P.O.V
Erza was going way out of control you could practically she the killing intent in her eyes which suddenly changed to a bloody red. I made my way to stop her but Master beat me to it, he super sized his hand and stretched it over to Erza and whacked her on the head resulting in an unconscious Erza, I sweat dropped and backed away from the pissed of master.
" Gray read Lucy's letter for everyone!" master ordered me. I pushed my hand into my pocket and took out her two letter, I fumbled to open them but soon succeeded in opening the accursed letter. I read the letter that was addressed to Fairy Tail first and by the time I finished I started getting misty eyes. Erza also woke up, fortunately she got her sanity back as well as her conciousness. I looked at Fairy tail accusingly.
" N-no...Lu-chan...why...why couldn't I have been a better friend?!LUCY!" Levy burst into tears while Gajeel awkwardly patted her back immediately failing at comforting the petite blue-haired mage and also ruining his bad boy image. I just ignored them and continued reading the next letter without hesitating, once I had finished reading the letter my tears were now flowing out of control. Erza wasn't doing as good, she went and stood in front of the pillar who she deemed her 'rival' a few years ago and started punching and slashing it repeatedly`.
"LUCY!" Erza gave out a pained cry, everyone was shocked including me but I couldn't blame her, Lucy was both like a sister to us...our precious little sister gone... and It's all because of that idiotic bastard! I felt enraged and walked over to Natsu. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him closer.
" You made Lucy quit Fairy tail... you drove her out of her own family! you even have the nerve to kick her out without telling us! You idiotic son of a dragon! couldn't you see Lucy loved you?! Are you that dense?!" I punched him as hard as I could then turned to Fairy Tail, " and you call yourself nakama?! You forgot about Lucy for 3 months and you didn't even realize it?!... I thought Fairy tail was better than this!" my tone was accusing. Everyone looked ashamed and hung their heads mostly everyone cried, even Elfman! all except Lissana. I shot her a murderous look and she visibly shivered. I don't care if she is a childhood friend or is she is Demon Mirajane's sister but she's the one who made Lucy quit! " Lissana why aren't you crying?!" I asked her, all eyes looked at her questioningly. I could see her fidgeting under the heated gazes that everyone's giving her.
" Come on! Who cares about that attention whore?! Certainly not me! I mean she's only using us to protect her!" Lissana smirked as if she expected everyone to agree with her. That b****! how dare she call Lucy an attention whore! if anybody is an attention whore It's her! Everyone gave Lissana death glare, me and Erza made a move to attack Lissana but Mira beat us to it.
Mira's P.O.V
I stood there shocked at my sister's words then suddenly everything came together like a perfect jigsaw puzzle. I quickly walked over to Lissana and slapped he...hard. The sound echoed inside Fairy Tail's walls giving it a dramatic effect, tears refreshed my puffy eyes.
" How could you Lissana?! Lucy was special to us... how could you take her away?! I thought that you were the same kind and loving Lissana that supposedly 'died' a long time ago" I shook my head, " I guess I thought wrong" everyone was shocked speechless.
" Mira-nee how could you say that?! I'm sill the same Lissana! Aren't I more special than that stupid girl?!" Lissana brought her hand up to her stinging red cheek with a bright red slap mark on it.
" what do you mean by Lissana taking Lucy away Mira?!" Erza asked
I sobbed, " Lissana convinced Natsu to kick Lucy out of team Natsu so that she could join and replace he... she's responsible for al our sufferings!" I sobbed even harder letting out all the pain that had been building up since Lucy's leaving. Everyone turned to Lissana giving her death glares while the said mage started to shake uncontrollably.
Lissana's P.O.V
Minna... why are you so angry?! I got rid of her... we're all a family again...so why... are you like this?!... did she really mean that much to you... did I hurt you that badly... I'm sorry...
NO! don't you dare say sorry you weakling!
Who are you?!
Have you forgotten me already brat?!
Flashback
1st day of celebrating Lissana's return.
Natsu... I finally get to see you again! but why do you keep talking about Lucy... don't I matter?! I hid my true feelings and listened to Natsu's word. When I left the guild it was already dark, I walked to Mira-nee and Elfman-nee's house ( did I do that right?!) what's so special about Lucy that makes her better than me?! Natsu should only pay attention to me...No! Stop it Lissana! Lucy didn't do anything wrong to you! Stop letting jealousy get the better of you!
" Is that really what you want Lissana?!" a voice appeared in my head. I stopped dead on my tracks.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?!" I shouted
" Hahaha, my my Lissana why so eager?!"the feminine voice cackled. I frowned in disgust.
" Show yourself!" I hissed, I looked at an empty spot in front of me and suddenly a dark feminine figure appeared in front of me. She had no facial features only a face, blank and empty. Her whole body resembled that of a ghostly apparition but instead of pale translucent-like skin hers was as dark as the night sky. (not meaning to be racist here but I am kinda describing a demon only more feminine-like O:) ) Bright red rune marks were on her skin as if it had been burned onto her. As she hovered closer to me a part of me was saying to run while the other said stay. I chose the first option deciding to go with my instincts rather than my curious brain. As I turned my back to her I tried to run away but it seemed like I was frozen in place by a mysterious force. Every part of my body froze except for my eyes and mouth, I felt her sharp nails caress my face.
" hahaha, stupid girl you can't run away from me! you should know that by now!" her sharp nails dug into my skin forcing me to scream in pain. " I have a little offer for you Lissana" she said in an almost heart-warming tone... almost. It had a threatening tone to it saying that if I refuse I would die. " How would you like it if I gave you power and wisdom, with those two gifts you can get rid of your most hated enemies like... Lucy Heartfillia" she smirked knowing all too well about my predicament. Lucy... if I get rid of her then Natsu'll be all mine! I smiled at the thought then agreed without even thinking about the consequences of my actions. Her smile grew even bigger showing her dangerously sharp canine. Before I could change my mind she went into my body, I was surrounded by a black mist and when the process was completed I felt power and wisdom merge into me but what I didn't know was that negative emotions like anger and jealousy also merged in me. I instantly felt more powerful and with my new found knowledge I made plans on how to get rid of Lucy.
Flashback end
So you're the one that made me like this!
hahaha it's your fault for getting all jealous! otherwise I wouldn't have offered you this! It's your own fault! I started coming up with a plan to get rid of her and soon thought of one, my body started rejecting the power she was giving me and I tried to force her out of my head. I was too distracted with my plan to notice the same black mist as before surround me.
Natsu P.O.V
I can't believe Lucy loved me ...why?!... why did I have to blow up my chance?!... Lucy I'm sorry for listening to Lissana and ignoring you... I'm sorry... now if only you'd come back...
my train of thoughts soon came to an end when I saw Lissana being surrounded by a black mist, at first I thought that she was going crazy and that she was about to try and kill someone like Erza tried to do with me but suddenly a demonic-like figure appeared out of the mist and soon Lissana no longer surrounded by the mist and fell to the floor. The demonic figure looked furious and had a look that could kill.
" How dare she! How dare she ruin my chances of killing Lucy Heartifillia!" she shouted enraged, wait... kill Lucy?! WHAT!
" Who are you and why do you want to kill Lucy?!" I shouted at her questioningly. She looked at me and gave me a look of amusement.
"Now why would I want to say that?! Hmm?!" she said playfully, I was beginning to grow impatient with her.
" Just answer the question!" I replied seething with anger.
"Fine then... but I wont give you all the answers... here's a clue...Acnologia's Dragon slayer" she smirked, I stood there dumbfounded.
" That doesn't help at all!" I roared she cackled then left, leaving no trace of her very existence.
Fairy Tail after 2 weeks
Normal P.O.V
After 2 weeks of crying and depression Fairy tail still showed no signs of improving, fortunately though it seemed that Lissana was possessed by a crazed demon who tried to kill Lucy.
Master Makarov's P.O.V
2 weeks and fairy tail is still depressed... what ever will I do?! I stretched my back and was about to continue with my paperwork when suddenly a familiar face appears in front of me, I soon started crying. " LUCY!...and...LAXUS!"
